Really, really want this.

Every since Liam started mixing things in his kitchenwares, I've jones-ing to get him a play kitchen but I did not want something huge. I think I've found the perfect one, plus through the www.sb-kids.com catalog site, it's almost $10 cheaper than Amazon (need to check shipping though!) & just confirm "approval" from Daddy-O.

MY FIRST KITCHEN
By Little, Little, Little Toy

A perfect first stove for small fries.

Smaller than a microwave, but big fun for little hands. This interactive kitchen lets you push down the toaster for a zany BOING! when the toast pops up. Place the frying pan on the burner and hear it "sizzle". Push a button and the clothes spin in the washer. Close the oven, and the timer starts. Also includes spatula and salt and pepper shakers that rattle.

Isn't it adorable? Not too large but does enough "things" to keep him really engaged. All the other ones I checked into are well over $50 and take up too much space - I think I could even put this where the stools should go under the island if we had more than one stool without it crowding up the kitchen. I'm sure he'd love to cook with Dada & maybe even leave me (and the dishwasher) alone long enough for me to do something without risking an emergency room visit!

He's a busy boy & I would like to encourage him to be busy but with the proper things. I don't want him to think that nothing is for him to play with especially when he has a great number of fabulous toys that he does enjoy daily!
